| Narcolepsy | ETDF | 140,570,730,7500,2500,50000,187500,455300,672230,775870 | Neurological disorder with loss of brain's ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles, leading to inappropriate sleep times/places, and daytime tiredness. Encyclopedia Entry for Narcolepsy : Narcolepsy. Experts aren't sure of the exact cause of narcolepsy. It may have more than one cause. Many people with narcolepsy have a low level of hypocretin (also known as orexin). This is a chemical made in the brain that helps you stay awake. In some people with narcolepsy, there are fewer of the cells that make this chemical. This may be due to an autoimmune reaction. An autoimmune reaction is when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. Narcolepsy can run in families. Researchers have found certain genes linked to narcolepsy. Narcolepsy symptoms usually first occur between 15 and 30 years old. Below are the most common symptoms. EXTREME DAYTIME SLEEPINESS You may feel a strong urge to sleep, often followed by a period of sleep. You can't control when you fall asleep. This is called a sleep attack. These periods can last from a few seconds to a few minutes. They may happen after eating, while talking to someone, or during other situations. Most often, you wake up feeling refreshed. Attacks can occur while you are driving or doing other activities where falling asleep can be dangerous. CATAPLEXY During these attacks, you can't control your muscles and can't move. Strong emotions, such as laughter or anger, can trigger cataplexy. Attacks often last from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. You remain aware during the attack. During the attack, your head falls forward, your jaw drops, and your knees may buckle. In severe cases, you may fall and stay paralyzed for as long as several minutes. HALLUCINATIONS You see or hear things that aren't there, either as you fall asleep or when you wake up. During hallucinations , you may feel afraid or under attack. SLEEP PARALYSIS This is when you can't move your body as you start falling asleep or when you first wake up. It may last up to 15 minutes. Most people with narcolepsy have daytime sleepiness and cataplexy. Not everyone has all these symptoms. Surprisingly, despite being very tired, many people with narcolepsy don't sleep well at night. There are two main types of narcolepsy: Type 1 involves having excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, and a low level of hypocretin. Type 2 involves having excessive daytime sleepiness, but no cataplexy, and a normal level of hypocretin. Your health care provider will do a physical exam and ask about your symptoms. You may have a blood test to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms. These include: Insomnia and other sleep disorders Restless legs syndrome Seizures Sleep apnea Other medical, psychiatric, or nervous system diseases You may have other tests, including: ECG (measures the electrical activity of your heart) EEG (measures the electrical activity of your brain) Sleep study (polysomnogram) Multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). This is a test to see how long it takes you to fall asleep during a daytime nap. People with narcolepsy fall asleep much faster than people without the condition. Genetic testing to look for the narcolepsy gene. There is no cure for narcolepsy. However, treatment can help control symptoms. LIFESTYLE CHANGES Certain changes can help improve your sleep at night and ease daytime sleepiness: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Keep your bedroom dark and at a comfortable temperature. Make sure your bed and pillows are comfortable. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and heavy meals several hours before bedtime. Don't smoke. Do something relaxing, such as take a warm bath or read a book before going to sleep. Get regular exercise every day, which can help you sleep at night. Be sure you plan exercise several hours before bedtime. These tips can help you do better at work and in social situations. Plan naps during the day when you typically feel tired. This helps control daytime sleepiness and reduces the number of unplanned sleep attacks. Tell teachers, work supervisors, and friends about your condition. You may want to print out material from the web about narcolepsy for them to read. Get counseling, if needed, to help you cope with the condition. Having narcolepsy can be stressful. If you have narcolepsy, you may have driving restrictions. Restrictions vary from state to state. MEDICINES Stimulant medicines can help you stay awake during the day. Antidepressant medicines can help reduce episodes of cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and hallucinations. Sodium oxybate (Xyrem) works well to control cataplexy. It can also help control daytime sleepiness. These drugs may have side effects. Work with your provider to find the treatment plan that works for you. Narcolepsy is a lifelong condition. It may be dangerous if episodes occur while driving, operating machinery, or doing similar activities. Narcolepsy can usually be controlled with treatment. Treating other underlying sleep disorders can improve narcolepsy symptoms. Narcolepsy may lead to the following: Trouble functioning at work Trouble being in social situations Injuries and accidents if attacks occur during activities Side effects of medicines used to treat the disorder. Call your provider if: You have symptoms of narcolepsy Narcolepsy does not respond to treatment You develop new symptoms. You can't prevent narcolepsy. Treatment may reduce the number of attacks. Avoid situations that trigger the condition if you are prone to attacks of narcolepsy. Daytime sleep disorder; Cataplexy. Sleep patterns in the young and aged Sleep patterns in the young and aged.

| Nasal Polyp | BIO | 542,1436 | Benign growth inside nasal passage. Encyclopedia Entry for Nasal Polyp : Nasal polyps. Nasal polyps can grow anywhere on the lining of the nose or the sinuses. They often grow where the sinuses open into the nasal cavity. Small polyps may not cause any problems. Large polyps can block your sinuses or nasal airway. Nasal polyps are not cancer. They seem to grow due to long-term swelling and irritation in the nose from allergies, asthma, or infection. No one knows exactly why some people get nasal polyps. If you have any of the following conditions, you may be more likely to get nasal polyps: Aspirin sensitivity Asthma Long-term (chronic) sinus infections Cystic fibrosis Hay fever. If you have small polyps, you may not have any symptoms. If polyps block nasal passages, a sinus infection can develop. Symptoms include: Runny nose Stuffed up nose Sneezing Feeling like your nose is blocked Loss of smell Loss of taste Headache and pain if you also have a sinus infection With polyps, you may feel like you always have a head cold. Your health care provider will look in your nose. Polyps look like a grayish grape-shaped growth in the nasal cavity. You may have a CT scan of your sinuses. Polyps will appear as cloudy spots. Older polyps may have broken down some of the bone inside your sinuses. Medicines help relieve symptoms, but rarely get rid of nasal polyps. Nasal steroid sprays shrink polyps. They help clear blocked nasal passages and runny nose. Symptoms return if treatment is stopped. Corticosteroid pills or liquid may also shrink polyps, and can reduce swelling and nasal congestion. The effect lasts a few months in most cases. Allergy medicines can help prevent polyps from growing back. Antibiotics can treat a sinus infection caused by bacteria. They can't treat polyps or sinus infections caused by a virus. If medicines don't work, or you have very large polyps, you may need surgery to remove them. Endoscopic sinus surgery is often used to treat polyps. With this procedure, your doctor uses a thin, lighted tube with instruments at the end. The tube is inserted into your nasal passages and the doctor removes the polyps. Usually you can go home the same day. Sometimes, polyps come back, even after surgery. Removing polyps with surgery often makes it easier to breathe through your nose. Over time, however, nasal polyps often return. Loss of smell or taste does not always improve following treatment with medicine or surgery. Complications may include: Bleeding Infection Polyps coming back after treatment. Call your provider if you often find it hard to breathe through your nose. You can't prevent nasal polyps. However, nasal sprays, antihistamines, and allergy shots may help prevent polyps that block your airway. Newer treatments such as injection therapy with anti-IGE antibodies may help prevent polyps from coming back. Treating sinus infections right away also may help.

| Neck Pain | ETDF | 80,490,730,800,7500,142530,285020,412030,528230,775560 | The bones, ligaments, and muscles of your neck support your head and allow for motion. Any abnormalities, inflammation, or injury can cause neck pain or stiffness. Encyclopedia Entry for Neck Pain : Neck pain or spasms - self care. You can use one or more of these methods to help reduce neck pain: Use over-the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), or acetaminophen (Tylenol). Apply heat or ice to the painful area. Use ice for the first 48 to 72 hours, then use heat. Apply heat using warm showers, hot compresses, or a heating pad. To prevent injuring your skin, do not fall asleep with a heating pad or ice bag in place. Have a partner gently massage the sore or painful areas. Try sleeping on a firm mattress with a pillow that supports your neck. You may want to get a special neck pillow. You can find them at some pharmacies or retail stores. Ask your health care provider about using a soft neck collar to relieve discomfort. Only use the collar for 2 to 4 days at most. Using a collar for longer can make your neck muscles weaker. Take it off from time to time to allow the muscles to get stronger. Acupuncture also may help relieve neck pain. To help relieve neck pain, you may have to reduce your activities. However, doctors do not recommend bed rest. You should try to stay as active as you can without making the pain worse. These tips can help you stay active with neck pain. Stop normal physical activity for only the first few days. This helps calm your symptoms and reduce swelling (inflammation) in the area of the pain. Do not do activities that involve heavy lifting or twisting of your neck or back for the first 6 weeks after the pain begins. If you are unable to move your head around very easily, you may need to avoid driving. After 2 to 3 weeks, slowly begin to exercise again. Your health care provider may refer you to a physical therapist. Your physical therapist can teach you which exercises are right for you and when to start. You may need to stop or ease back on the following exercises during recovery, unless your doctor or physical therapist says it is OK: Jogging Contact sports Racquet sports Golf Dancing Weight lifting Leg lifts when lying on your stomach Sit-ups. As part of physical therapy, you may receive massage and stretching exercises along with exercises to strengthen your neck. Exercise can help you: Improve your posture Strengthen your neck and improve flexibility A complete exercise program should include: Stretching and strength training. Follow the instructions of your doctor or physical therapist. Aerobic exercise. This may involve walking, riding a stationary bicycle, or swimming. These activities can help improve blood flow to your muscles and promote healing. They also strengthen muscles in your stomach, neck, and back. Stretching and strengthening exercises are important in the long run. Keep in mind that starting these exercises too soon after an injury can make your pain worse. Strengthening the muscles in your upper back can ease the stress on your neck. Your physical therapist can help you determine when to begin neck stretching and strengthening exercises and how to do them. If you work at a computer or a desk most of the day: Stretch your neck every hour or so. Use a headset when on the telephone, especially if answering or using the phone is a main part of your job. When reading or typing from documents at your desk, place them in a holder at eye level. When sitting, make sure that your chair has a straight back with an adjustable seat and back, armrests, and a swivel seat. Other measures to help prevent neck pain include: Avoid standing for long periods. If you must stand for your work, place a stool by your feet. Alternate resting each foot on the stool. Do not wear high heels. Wear shoes that have cushioned soles when walking. If you drive long-distance, stop and walk around every hour. Do not lift heavy objects just after a long ride. Make sure you have a firm mattress and supportive pillow. Learn to relax. Try methods such as yoga, tai chi, or massage. For some, neck pain does not go away and becomes a long-lasting (chronic) problem. Managing chronic pain means finding ways to make your pain tolerable so you can live your life. Unwanted feelings, such as frustration, resentment, and stress, are often a result of chronic pain. These feelings and emotions can worsen your neck pain. Ask your health care provider about prescribing medicines to help you manage your chronic pain. Some with ongoing neck pain take narcotics to control the pain. It is best if only one health care provider is prescribing your narcotic pain medicines. If you have chronic neck pain, ask your health care provider about a referral to a: Rheumatologist (an expert in arthritis and joint disease) Physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist (can help people regain body functions they lost due to medical conditions or injury) Neurosurgeon Mental health provider. Call your provider if: Symptoms do not go away in 1 week with self-care You have numbness, tingling, or weakness in your arm or hand Your neck pain was caused by a fall, blow, or injury, if you cannot move your arm or hand, have someone call 911 The pain gets worse when you lie down or wakes you up at night Your pain is so severe that you cannot get comfortable You lose control over urination or bowel movements You have trouble walking and balancing.

Many people describe this as having a stiff neck. If neck pain involves compression of your nerves, you may feel numbness, tingling, or weakness in your arm or hand. A common cause of neck pain is muscle strain or tension. Most often, everyday activities are to blame. Such activities include: Bending over a desk for hours Having poor posture while watching TV or reading Having your computer monitor positioned too high or too low Sleeping in an uncomfortable position Twisting and turning your neck in a jarring manner while exercising Lifting things too quickly or with poor posture Accidents or falls can cause severe neck injuries, such as vertebral fractures, whiplash, blood vessel injury, and even paralysis. Other causes include: Medical conditions, such as fibromyalgia Cervical arthritis or spondylosis Ruptured disk Small fractures to the spine from osteoporosis Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) Sprains Infection of the spine ( osteomyelitis , discitis , abscess ) Torticollis Cancer that involves the spine.

You will need to learn: How to relieve the pain What your activity level should be What medicines you can take For minor, common causes of neck pain: Take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB) or acetaminophen (Tylenol). Apply heat or ice to the painful area. Use ice for the first 48 to 72 hours, and then use heat after that. Apply heat with warm showers, hot compresses, or a heating pad. To prevent injury to your skin, DO NOT fall asleep with a heating pad or ice bag in place. Stop normal physical activity for the first few days. This helps calm your symptoms and reduce inflammation. Do slow range-of-motion exercises, up and down, side to side, and from ear to ear. This helps gently stretch the neck muscles. Have a partner gently massage the sore or painful areas. Try sleeping on a firm mattress with a pillow that supports your neck. You may want to get a special neck pillow. Ask your health care provider about using a soft neck collar to relieve discomfort. However, using collar for a long time can weaken neck muscles. Take it off from time to time to allow the muscles to get stronger. Seek medical help right away if you have: A fever and headache, and your neck is so stiff that you cannot touch your chin to your chest. This may be meningitis. Call your local emergency number (such as 911) or get to a hospital. Symptoms of a heart attack , such as shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, vomiting, or arm or jaw pain. Call your provider if: Symptoms do not go away in 1 week with self-care You have numbness, tingling, or weakness in your arm or hand Your neck pain was caused by a fall, blow, or injury -- if you cannot move your arm or hand, have someone call 911 You have swollen glands or a lump in your neck Your pain does not go away with regular doses of over-the-counter pain medicine You have difficulty swallowing or breathing along with the neck pain The pain gets worse when you lie down or wakes you up at night Your pain is so severe that you cannot get comfortable You lose control over urination or bowel movements You have trouble walking and balancing. Your provider will perform a physical exam and ask about your neck pain, including how often it occurs and how much it hurts. Your provider will probably not order any tests during the first visit. Tests are only done if you have symptoms or a medical history that suggests a tumor, infection, fracture, or serious nerve disorder. In that case, the following tests may be done: X-rays of the neck CT scan of the neck or head Blood tests such as a complete blood count ( CBC ) MRI of the neck If the pain is due to muscle spasm or a pinched nerve, your provider may prescribe a muscle relaxant or a more powerful pain reliever. Over-the-counter medicines often work as well as prescription drugs. At times, your provider may give you steroids to reduce swelling. If there is nerve damage, your provider may refer you to a neurologist, neurosurgeon, or orthopedic surgeon for consultation. Pain - neck; Neck stiffness; Cervicalgia; Whiplash; Stiff neck.

Encyclopedia Entry for Nephrotic Syndrome : Nephrotic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome is caused by different disorders that damage the kidneys. This damage leads to the release of too much protein in the urine. The most common cause in children is minimal change disease. Membranous glomerulonephritis is the most common cause in adults. In both diseases, the glomeruli in the kidneys are damaged. Glomeruli are the structures that help filter wastes and fluids. This condition can also occur from: Cancer Diseases such as diabetes , systemic lupus erythematosus , multiple myeloma , and amyloidosis Genetic disorders Immune disorders Infections (such as strep throat, hepatitis, or mononucleosis ) Use of certain drugs It can occur with kidney disorders such as: Focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis Glomerulonephritis Mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis Nephrotic syndrome can affect all age groups. In children, it is most common between ages 2 and 6. This disorder occurs slightly more often in males than females. Swelling (edema) is the most common symptom. It may occur: In the face and around the eyes ( facial swelling ) In the arms and legs, especially in the feet and ankles In the belly area ( swollen abdomen ) Other symptoms include: Skin rash or sores Foamy appearance of the urine Poor appetite Weight gain (unintentional) from fluid retention Seizures. The health care provider will perform a physical exam. Laboratory tests will be done to see how well the kidneys are working. They include: Albumin blood test Blood chemistry tests, such as basic metabolic panel or comprehensive metabolic panel Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) Creatinine - blood test Creatinine clearance - urine test Urinalysis Fats are often also present in the urine. Blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels may be high. A kidney biopsy may be needed to find the cause of the disorder. Tests to rule out various causes may include the following: Antinuclear antibody Cryoglobulins Complement levels Glucose tolerance test Hepatitis B and C antibodies HIV test Rheumatoid factor Serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) Syphilis serology Urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP) This disease may also change the results of the following tests: Vitamin D level Serum iron Urinary casts. The goals of treatment are to relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and delay kidney damage. To control nephrotic syndrome, the disorder that is causing it must be treated. You may need treatment for life. Treatments may include any of the following: Keeping blood pressure at or below 130/80 mm Hg to delay kidney damage. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are the medicines most often used. ACE inhibitors and ARBs may also help decrease the amount of protein lost in the urine. Corticosteroids and other drugs that suppress or quiet the immune system. Treating high cholesterol to reduce the risk of heart and blood vessel problems -- A low-fat, low-cholesterol diet is usually not enough for people with nephrotic syndrome. Medicines to reduce cholesterol and triglycerides (usually statins) may be needed. A low-sodium diet may help with swelling in the hands and legs. Water pills (diuretics) may also help with this problem. Low-protein diets may be helpful. Your provider may suggest a moderate-protein diet (1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day). Taking vitamin D supplements if nephrotic syndrome is long-term and is not responding to treatment. Taking blood thinner drugs to treat or prevent blood clots. Outcome varies. Some people recover from the condition. Others develop long-term kidney disease and need dialysis and eventually a kidney transplant. Health problems that may result from nephrotic syndrome include: Acute kidney failure Hardening of the arteries and related heart diseases Chronic kidney disease Fluid overload, heart failure , fluid buildup in lungs Infections, including pneumococcal pneumonia Malnutrition Renal vein thrombosis. Call your provider if: You develop symptoms of nephrotic syndrome, including swelling in face, belly, or arms and legs, or skin sores You're being treated for nephrotic syndrome, but your symptoms don't improve New symptoms develop, including cough, decreased urine output, discomfort with urination, fever, severe headache Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have seizures. Treating conditions that can cause nephrotic syndrome may help prevent the syndrome. Nephrosis. Male urinary system Male urinary system. Pais P, Avner ED. Nephrotic syndrome. |

Causes of neuralgia include: Chemical irritation Chronic kidney disease Diabetes Infections, such as herpes zoster ( shingles ), HIV/AIDS, Lyme disease , and syphilis Medicines such as cisplatin, paclitaxel, or vincristine Porphyria (blood disorder) Pressure on nerves by nearby bones, ligaments, blood vessels, or tumors Trauma (including surgery) In many cases, the cause is unknown. Postherpetic neuralgia and trigeminal neuralgia are the two most common forms of neuralgia. A related but less common neuralgia affects the glossopharyngeal nerve , which provides feeling to the throat. Neuralgia is more common in older people, but it may occur at any age. Symptoms may include any of the following: Increased sensitivity of the skin along the path of the damaged nerve, so that any touch or pressure is felt as pain Pain along the path of the nerve that is sharp or stabbing, in the same location each episode, comes and goes (intermittent) or is constant and burning, and may get worse when the area is moved Weakness or complete paralysis of muscles supplied by the same nerve. The health care provider will perform a physical exam, and ask about the symptoms. The exam may show: Abnormal sensation in the skin Reflex problems Loss of muscle mass Lack of sweating (sweating is controlled by nerves) Tenderness along a nerve Trigger points (areas where even a slight touch triggers pain) You may also need to see a dentist if the pain is in your face or jaw. A dental exam can rule out dental disorders that may cause facial pain (such as a tooth abscess ). Other symptoms (such as redness or swelling) may help rule out conditions such as infections, bone fractures, or rheumatoid arthritis. There are no specific tests for neuralgia. But, the following tests may be done to find the cause of the pain: Blood tests to check blood sugar , kidney function, and other possible causes of neuralgia Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) Nerve conduction study with electromyography Ultrasound Spinal tap ( lumbar puncture ). Treatment depends on the cause, location, and severity of the pain. Medicines to control pain may include: Antidepressants Antiseizure drugs Over-the-counter or prescription pain medicines Pain medicines in the form of skin patches or creams Other treatments may include: Shots with pain-relieving (anesthetic) drugs Nerve blocks Physical therapy (for some types of neuralgia, especially postherpetic neuralgia) Procedures to reduce feeling in the nerve (such as nerve ablation using radiofrequency, heat, balloon compression, or injection of chemicals) Surgery to take pressure off a nerve Alternative therapy, such as acupuncture or biofeedback Procedures may not improve symptoms and can cause loss of feeling or abnormal sensations. When other treatments fail, doctors may try nerve or spinal cord stimulation. In rare cases, a procedure called motor cortex stimulation (MCS) is tried. An electrode is placed over part of nerve, spinal cord, or brain and is hooked to a pulse generator under the skin. This changes how your nerves signal and it may reduce pain. Most neuralgias are not life threatening and are not signs of other life-threatening disorders. For severe pain that does not improve, see a pain specialist so that you can explore all treatment options. Most neuralgias respond to treatment. Attacks of pain usually come and go. But, attacks may become more frequent in some people as they get older. Sometimes, the condition may improve on its own or disappear with time, even when the cause is not found. Complications may include: Problems from surgery Disability caused by pain Side effects of drugs used to control pain Dental procedures that aren't needed before neuralgia is diagnosed. Contact your provider if: You develop shingles You have symptoms of neuralgia, especially if over-the-counter pain medicines do not relieve your pain You have severe pain (see a pain specialist). Strict control of blood sugar may prevent nerve damage in people with diabetes. In the case of shingles, antiviral drugs and the herpes zoster virus vaccine may prevent neuralgia.

Encyclopedia Entry for Neutropenia : Neutropenia - infants. White blood cells are produced in the bone marrow. They are released into the bloodstream and travel wherever they are needed. Low levels of neutrophils occur when the bone marrow cannot replace them as fast as needed. In babies, the most common cause is infection. A very severe infection may cause neutrophils to be used up quickly. It may also prevent the bone marrow from producing more neutrophils. Sometimes, an infant who is not sick will have a low neutrophil count for no obvious reason. Some disorders in the pregnant mother, such as preeclampsia, can also lead to neutropenia in infants. In rare cases, mothers may have antibodies against their baby's neutrophils. These antibodies cross the placenta before birth and cause the baby's cells to break down (alloimmune neutropenia). In other rare cases, a problem with the baby's bone marrow may lead to decreased white blood cell production. A small sample of the baby's blood will be sent to the laboratory for a complete blood count (CBC) and blood differential. A CBC reveals the number and type of cells in the blood. The differential helps determine the number of different types of white blood cells in a blood sample. The source of any infection should be found and treated. In many cases, neutropenia goes away on its own as the bone marrow recovers and begins to produce enough white blood cells. In rare cases when the neutrophil count is low enough to be life threatening, the following treatments may be recommended: Medicines to stimulate white blood cell production Antibodies from donated blood samples (intravenous immune globulin). The baby's outlook depends on the cause of the neutropenia. Some infections and other conditions in newborns can be life threatening. However, most infections do not cause long-term side effects after the neutropenia goes away or is treated. Alloimmune neutropenia will also get better once the mother's antibodies are out of the baby's bloodstream. Neutrophil Neutrophils. Koenig JM, Bliss JM, Mariscalco MM.

Encyclopedia Entry for Noonan Syndrome : Noonan syndrome. Noonan syndrome is linked to defects in several genes. In general, certain proteins involved in growth and development become overactive as a result of these gene changes. Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition. This means only one parent has to pass down the nonworking gene for the child to have the syndrome. However, some cases may not be inherited. Symptoms include: Delayed puberty Down-slanting or wide-set eyes Hearing loss (varies) Low-set or abnormally shaped ears Mild intellectual disability (only in about 25% of cases) Sagging eyelids ( ptosis ) Short stature Small penis Undescended testicles Unusual chest shape (most often a sunken chest called pectus excavatum) Webbed and short-appearing neck. The health care provider will perform a physical exam. This may show signs of heart problems the infant had from birth. These may include pulmonary stenosis and atrial septal defect. Tests depend on the symptoms, but may include: Platelet count Blood clotting factor test ECG , chest x-ray , or echocardiogram Hearing tests Growth hormone levels Genetic testing can help diagnose this syndrome. There is no specific treatment. Your provider will suggest treatment to relieve or manage symptoms. Growth hormone has been used successfully to treat short height in some people with Noonan syndrome. The Noonan Syndrome Foundation is a place where people dealing with this condition can find information and resources. Complications may include: Abnormal bleeding or bruising Buildup of fluid in tissues of body (lymphedema, cystic hygroma) Failure to thrive in infants Leukemia and other cancers Low self-esteem Infertility in males if both testes are undescended Problems with the structure of the heart Short height Social problems due to physical symptoms. This condition may be found during early infant exams. A geneticist is often needed to diagnose Noonan syndrome. Couples with a family history of Noonan syndrome may want to consider genetic counseling before having children. Pectus excavatum Pectus excavatum. Ali O, Donohoue PA. Hypofunction of the testes. |
| Normalize Estrogen Production Male and Female | XTRA | 1351 | While estrogen plays an important role in overall health, some women and men will develop elevated estrogen or estrogen dominance. This can lead to health problems due to changes in estrogen production, metabolism and elimination provoked by being overweight, excess adipose tissue, elevated blood sugar, poor diet, sluggish liver and poor elimination, low progesterone, medication, and xenoestrogen |
| Normalize Red Blood Cell Production | XTRA | 1524 | Production of red blood cells is controlled by erythropoietin, a hormone produced primarily by the kidneys. Red blood cells start as immature cells in the bone marrow and after approximately seven days of maturation are released into the bloodstream. |
| Normalize White Blood Cell Production | XTRA | 1434 | Red blood cells, mostwhite blood cells, and platelets areproducedin the bone marrow, the soft fatty tissue inside bone cavities. Two types ofwhite blood cells, T and Bcells(lymphocytes), are alsoproducedin the lymph nodes and spleen, and Tcellsareproducedand mature in the thymus gland. |

There are many possible causes of numbness and tingling, including: Sitting or standing in the same position for a long time Injuring a nerve (a neck injury may cause you to feel numbness anywhere along your arm or hand, while a low back injury can cause numbness or tingling down the back of your leg) Pressure on the nerves of the spine, such as from a herniated disk Pressure on peripheral nerves from enlarged blood vessels, tumors, scar tissue, or infection Shingles or herpes zoster infection Lack of blood supply to an area, such as from hardening of the arteries , frostbite , or vessel inflammation Abnormal levels of calcium, potassium, or sodium in your body A lack of vitamin B12 or other vitamin Use of certain medicines Nerve damage due to lead, alcohol, or tobacco, or from chemotherapy drugs Radiation therapy Animal bites Insect, tick, mite, and spider bites Seafood toxins Congenital conditions that affect the nerves Numbness and tingling can be caused by other medical conditions, including: Carpal tunnel syndrome (pressure on a nerve at the wrist) Diabetes Migraines Multiple sclerosis Seizures Stroke Transient ischemic attack (TIA) , sometimes called a 'mini-stroke' Underactive thyroid Raynaud phenomenon (narrowing of the blood vessels, usually in the hands and feet). Your health care provider should find and treat the cause of your numbness or tingling. Treating the condition may make the symptoms go away or stop them from getting worse. For example, if you have carpal tunnel syndrome or low back pain, your doctor may recommend certain exercises. If you have diabetes, your provider will discuss ways to control your blood sugar level. Low levels of vitamins will be treated with vitamin supplements. Medicines that cause numbness or tingling may need to be switched or changed. DO NOT change or stop taking any of your medicines or take large doses of any vitamins or supplements until you have talked with your provider. Because numbness can cause a decrease in feeling, you may be more likely to accidentally injure a numb hand or foot. Take care to protect the area from cuts, bumps, bruises, burns, or other injuries. Go to a hospital or call your local emergency number (such as 911) if: You have weakness or are unable to move, along with numbness or tingling Numbness or tingling occur just after a head, neck, or back injury You cannot control the movement of an arm or a leg, or you have lost bladder or bowel control You are confused or have lost consciousness, even briefly You have slurred speech, a change in vision, difficulty walking, or weakness Call your provider if: Numbness or tingling has no obvious cause (like a hand or foot 'falling asleep') You have pain in your neck, forearm, or fingers You are urinating more often Numbness or tingling is in your legs and gets worse when you walk You have a rash You have dizziness, muscle spasm, or other unusual symptoms. Your provider will take a medical history and perform a physical examination, carefully checking your nervous system. You will be asked about your symptoms. Questions may include when the problem began, its location, or if there's anything that improves or worsens the symptoms. Your provider may also ask questions to determine your risk for stroke, thyroid disease, or diabetes, as well as questions about your work habits and medicines. Blood tests that may be ordered include: Complete blood count ( CBC ) Electrolyte level (measurement of body chemicals and minerals) and liver function tests Thyroid function tests Measurement of vitamin levels Heavy metal or toxicology screening Sedimentation rate C-reactive protein Imaging tests may include: Angiogram (a test that uses x-rays and a special dye to see inside the blood vessels) CT angiogram CT scan of the head CT scan of the spine MRI of the head MRI of the spine Ultrasound of neck vessels to determine your risk for TIA or stroke Vascular ultrasound X-ray of the affected area Other tests that may be done include: Electromyography and nerve conduction studies to measure how your muscles respond to nerve stimulation Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to rule out central nervous system disorders Cold stimulation test may be done to check for Raynaud phenomenon.
